It was a beautiful morning for a 5K run in Miami Springs today. We’re talking about clear skies and a cool 64 degree morning. Over 120 runners of all ages made their way to the Circle in Miami Springs to get started for the annual Festival 5K run.
Over 120 participants ranging from kids to seniors joined to take advantage of the unique opportunity to compete in a safe and fast paced 5k race through the beautiful streets of Miami Springs.
The race kicked off at 7am sharp. The race started on the East side of the Circle, near the gas station. Runners ran around the Circle towards Milam’s Markets.
They headed west on North Royal Poinciana Boulevard before taking a detour at Nahkoda Drive (behind Milam’s). The path continued on Nahkoda before turning left at Esplanade Drive. The runners ran alongside the canal road towards Deer Run where the runners took the bike path along the beautiful Miami Springs Golf Course.
Runners continued along the bike path past the Curtiss Mansion and towards Fairway Drive where they made a right hand turn on the sidewalk.
Runners continued west on Fairway until they reached Eldron Drive where they made another right. On Eldron the participants followed the path back towards Curtiss Parkway.
Finally, the runners sprinted down Curtiss Parkway until they reached the Circle and a final dash towards the finish line.
And the Winners are…
